You can pretend everything's fine, but if there's an unhappiness or you're not having sex or you're not communicating or you're made to feel third best in the house and you don't address it and you just try to put on a nice face and a smile, that kind of aggression and anger is going to come out in some sinister way.

I can think of endless horrible things to do to people!

I have control issues. For sure, no question.

I love movies that are just straight-up exploitation, but the ones that endure and the ones that last are the ones where the filmmakers put in that extra level of thought; after 25 years you put them on in front of an audience, and they'll respond to it and enjoy it.

Life is a series of avoiding horrible situations until ultimately you're dead. That's how I feel about things.

I love movies. I mean, I really, really love movies.

I generally follow my own compass and make films about what's scaring me.
